Chiweenies - Buddy's Story  Chiweenie - Chihuahua Daschund Mix

I'm sure that you have heard about the new "designer dogs" that are so all the rage right now.  Designer dogs, also called hybrids, are usually a combination of two dog breeds.  These designe r dog breeds have been made famous by actors and actresses who own "Puggles" (pug x beagle), "Labradoodles" (labradors x poodles), "Jackapoos" (Jack Russell Terrier x Poodle), Chiweenies (Chihuahua x Daschund), etc.  While these dogs are in actuality nothing more than mutts, many of them are still simply adorable!

One of the Swanky Pooches in my family is a Chiweenie. His name is Buddy, and he's two years old. We found him in the local newspaper; his owners were in the military, and they had to leave the country unexpectedly and couldn't keep him. Their good friends promised to find Buddy a good home, and they did!

My daughter, who was 9 at the time, had been begging for a small dog for years. My husband and I finally gave in. I wanted to adopt a shelter dog and spent many hours scouring the local shelters. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything that met our strict requirements.Chiweenie - Chihuahua Daschund Cross

Finally, one day I was looking at the online ads from our local newspaper, and there he was! I was immediately won over by his adorable picture, and my husband said "go get him!" So the kids and I drove an hour away to visit Buddy. It was love at first sight for all of us! Buddy was 8 months old at the time and weighed about 10 pounds. You could tell he was a spoiled little guy, as he came complete with a dog purse (the kind where the dog sits inside and the lady carries the purse), an expensive dog bed, a very nice pet carrier, two bags full of toys, food, treats, etc.

Yep, we had to have him, and home he came with us that very night. Buddy is a great little guy, full of energy and so happy he just makes me smile. He's been a great pick-me-up over the last year as I've battled breast cancer. There's just something about that cute little face and cockeyed ear that makes me smile every time I see him.

So while I don't endorse the breeding and sale of high-priced "designer dogs," I certainly am happy that someone bred my sweet little Chiweenie!
